This week was a bit crazy! But really great. I had an exchange in Geneva. I decided I am really grateful I can't serve there because the people in Suisse hate me. Seriously. Every person I contacted was mean and said no! But I forgave them. It was a good exchange though anyway :)
Wednesday It rained a lot, but we still contacted 104 people! Funny story. We have a new investigator named T. He is great. From Spain. He speaks Spanish mostly but he speaks french very well too. I haven't gotten to meet with him for a lesson yet because I was on the exchange, but I'm excited to! I hope things go well with him but we'll see :)
Remember A? The guy I talked a bit about last week? Well, we had been trying to get a hold of him a lot and he kept missing appointments or not answering, etc and Sister W wanted to drop him. For some reason I just didn't want to. I said we have to try at least one more time. So Saturday night we decided to just contact for the little time we had left. We had just waited at the church with a member for a lesson that fell through, so we were feeling a bit down. But we decided to contact for the rest of the time we had left. We contacted two people and the, A pulls up next to us in his car! That means he likes us! If he didn't want to meet/see us ever again he wouldn't have done that. It was a miracle! So Sunday we finally had our first real lesson with him. He is great. He believes in something, but he isn't super sure. He said when he is going through a hard time, he prays. He lived in Suisse before and was in the army, but got accused for something he didn't do so he ran away to France. He has had some struggles. He seemed to really understand the restoration though. When I recited the first vision, the spirit was so incredibly strong. I really hope he felt it. He said he wants to continue another time so I really hope he does. He seems so prepared.
We teach English on Wednesdays and JC in our ward brought a friend! She met with the Jehovah's Witnesses (they are abundant here in France and sometimes people mistake us for them) but she stopped. She said she is trying to stop smoking and wants to learn more about our church. Her name is M and she is divorced but so sweet. Our first lesson is tonight :) Then we also met E who is 83.We offered to do some service for her :) come to find our her daughter is a member in the United states and she went to church over there one time and really liked it. When she came home elders were ready to teach her but her preacher said she couldn't and that we were a secte again. So I'm very excited! We found her again! I hope we can do some good for her :)
Also we got 503 contacts this week! Unheard of in my area because it is so small. It was also a miracle because literally at the last minute we were driving home and sister C saw a group of people. We needed 12 more and there were 12 people. It was awesome. No one was interested, but it was great to finally reach that goal :) over 1,000 people contacted by 4 sisters in G
ex! :)
Anyway, I love you all so much! Keep writing me letters! I love them. But not as much as i love you :)
Love, Sister Roberts
